I know you girls will understand my excitement so I just have to share my accomplishment: Today at the gym I bench pressed 50lb dumbells for 7 reps! A personal best for me! I'm so excited :7 Shonie

Hey Pinky Girl! I wouldn't say specifically that it is *because* of S&H but I, too, experience this same thing. I just noticed it after S&H style training -- probably because they are so different. I think the fast reps put more strain on the joints/ligaments/tendons; whereas the slow reps...

RE: Pick your Awww...thanks Jes! I LOVE you for saying I'm like Cathe (can't think of a higher compliment). But, remember, Nadine had to open the wine for me. My arms are just an illusion. Besides, I'm too high maintenance for something like that show. I need coffee and a shower in...

Hey Maximus -- I'm not going to be much help here since I'm not familiar with that particular product, but I do have a kind-of funny story that has a moral. I bought one of those over-the-counter microderm kits (has the lotion with the crystals in it and moisterizer for afterward) -- may...

Hey Laura! I watch it if I happen to see it on when I'm flipping channels. Sorry to say I don't find him attractive at all but he does seem nice (hmmm...maybe that explains my lack of attraction...interesting). I'm embarrassed to say I was addicted to the first season of the "Top Model"...

Awww...shucks...thanks Marla! Are you sure you didn't photo-shop some arms in there for me? I need to go get my $5 disposable camera developed! Dang, dang, dang. You girls and your fancy, smancy "digital" high-tech space-age cameras...bahhh! Back in my day as a youth we took pictures with...

Hey Jes -- I wish I could take some credit for thinking of the bridal gift, but it was really Nadine's idea. She is just the most thoughtful person I think I've ever met. Thanks, "geriatric wackos", for making me feel good. The compliments are great especially since I've been somewhat...

Amen Dutchie! Yay...I found someone else who thinks exactly like me! I'm not a freak after all :-) Well, not for that reason anyway. Shonie

I didn't weigh-in on Amyrobyn's post either because I'm pretty "different" when it comes to thoughts on marriage. I don't understand the point of it. Unless you have religious beliefs that require you to be married, I don't see the reason for it. In "the old days" when a woman needed to be...

Dear Marla -- I'm also a "driving ventor". Vent="scream and curse" in my book -- and I used to be such a nice girl. Watch out -- I'm on my way home from work in a couple of minutes. People with the bite sized candy bars need to STOP bringing them to work!!!! ARGGGGG! Shonie

I, personally, never made good gains in muscle until I increased my protein intake regardless of the fact that I was lifting heavy and often for YEARS. This article may say it is a myth -- but it worked for me. Given the high level of carb intake in a lot of people's diets (especially many...

Lately...I've been eating candy :-( I'm not recommending it. Shonie

I'm open-minded and non-judgemental when it comes to people and how they live their lives (former SO calls that "being liberal"). I'm a devoted friend. I will do almost anything for a true friend. I'm determined (like Maximus). Some people call it stubborn ;-) I'm independent and...

RE: Do you have a personality trait you'd like to chang... Marla -- Well, you are "Ms. Fly-By-The-Seat-Of-Her-Pants" :-) Unfortunatly, I procrastinate -- but also feel the need to plan everything. Wow...2 pretty conflicting traits! Aren't you glad you're going to be spending a...

Oh my -- do I have to pick just one? Well, I guess I'd have to say I wish I was less of a nut-job ;-) I procrastinate, I don't speak my mind about things that bug me, I don't give myself credit for my accomplishments, I don't give myself a break when I screw up, I can be quiet and moody...

So I'm doing the Harcore Extreme workout #1 today (still half asleep) and there is a part after weights (I think) where Cathe says "clean up your mess". I completely cracked up! Yes MOM! Has anyone else noticed that part? Shonie

Awww...Pinky -- that was just BEAUTIFUL :-) I could imagine the scene just as you described it! I can tell you are a great mom. If you have one of those "jumping off the cliff" days. Give me a call. I'll talk you down (or join you) :-) Shonie

Hey Christine -- I can't really offer any advice here since I don't have children -- but I was wondering why you would say "I certainly want to adopt at least one child but I feel like I'd be missing out on life if I don't also have at least one of my own". Why would you feel like you'd be...

Pinky, :-) Bloating checkin thread...I like it! Although I'm not sure how interesting it would be. I can see it now, day after day: Day 1: Bloated Day 2: Yep, still Bloated Day 3: Bloated AND constipated Day 4: Bloated, constipated, and pissed off Day 5: Feel pregnant, look...

Pinky, So...can we start calling you "PP"? Puffy Pinky -- it has a nice ring to it. Kind of a wuss rapper name. Shonie
